Another uninteresting and boring CD taken from the official video Dance On Fire. As usual, some tracks are mislabeled: Roadhouse Blues is not from the Hollywood Bowl performance and Moonlight Drive was not taped live at the Jonathan Winters Show but is the original version from the album Strange Days. The soundquality is perfect and the cover is nice and pretty unusual. What else? The colour booklet shows one photo taken by Frank Lisciandro and one by Paul Ferrara. Although "...It Was More Than Twenty Years Ago" (as the back cover legitimates this release) this CD is for the hard core collector only. Just 34 minutes of playing time on a CD is a waste of plastic.

A fine release by Tuff Bites, a company which is known for the characteristic drawings on their covers for their digi-packs. Many of you might already know the Copenhagen and Critique tracks, but even for those people it seems to be worth getting this set. The soundquality of both recordings is excellent, because they were taken from master video copies. The interview is really insightful and the tracks - well, we already know them, but they are still great. Finally, for the first time on CD we have The Doors' Dallas concert, which was never available in good soundquality. But compared to what is out on tape and has partly been published on some inferior vinyl bootlegs and tapes this recording of Dallas is much better than on other sources. Jim's voice never sounded so lonely (especially in L.A.Woman), he makes a few interesting lyrical variations (check Love Her Madly) and The Doors seem to be very tired (just listen to Robby Krieger's guitar). Good to have this concert on CD now. A sad document of the end of The Doors. This is almost the complete concert, just The End played as an encore is missed (I doubt it was ever taped). The bonus track is a great version of The End recorded at the Toronto Popfestival. This song was missing from the CD Toronto Popfestival 1969 Plus Other Rarities (Too Drunk To Fuck TDTF 002). All Hail The American Night is definitely recommended!

It's certainly better to listen to the crackling wood in your fireplace than to put this counterfeit CD into your CD player. Simply avoid this and buy the original Elektra CD of An American Prayer, which certainly is available in your local shop. There is no Elektra logo on the cover or on the CD itself, so you can't be wrong picking up the official release.

At least this counterfeit CD was taken from a tape copy of An American Prayer, which means there are no crackles to be heard (check the Ody 004 AAP 1 counterfeit of the same source). And at least you can easily distinguish between the official release and this counterfeit because of the bonus track. Get Jim's Alive (Tuff Bites T.B. 94.1009) and the official Elektra CD An American Prayer, and you have all tracks in better soundquality. By doing so you do not support counterfeit bootleggers.

Everybody seems to have these tracks already on numerous other different CDs. The cover is very unusual, the tray is of clear plastic ... but of course the title of the CD is VERY misleading. Eddie's tracks with The Doors are in excellent quality, by the way. This disc is for the hard core collector only who needs to have everything, worthless for anybody else. I only like the nice CD label itself: It looks like a small VINYL disc (but they use the same design on other artists' CDs, too).

Oh no, not another Stockholm CD I thought when I got this one. But listening to it I changed my mind: This is the definitive stereo version of the second Stockholm show. The quality is very much better than on all other releases, and if you think The Stockholm Tapes (Document Records DR 010) was good, well, try this one. Perfect! (I still can't get over that very patient Stockholm audience!) Recommended!

One of the worst CDs in history. Made by the same guy who also produced the awful bootleg CDs The Future Is Murder and Replica Blues, it's the same shit all over again: Another CD. Another 'Live In New Orleans'. Another compilation of what has been published before. Another compilation of what has been mislabeled before. This time it is called Archangel. DON'T BUY THIS RIP-OFF. This CD was not recorded in New Orleans on the very last Doors concert with Jim Morrison as the cover says. This CD was made of a tape distributed by one American Fan, got overdubbed with some poetry from the bootleg CD Orange County Suite (Document Records DR 019) and it is horrible. The soundquality is bad, the intention to rip-off the fans is bad, the cover and the title are bad, and I must say that each CD made by this bootlegger should be avoided by every fan. Each copy you'll buy will give him money to produce another one made of the same material (ehm: 'Live in New Orleans'!). Dear people: THERE IS NO TAPE AND NO CD AVAILABLE RECORDED LIVE IN NEW ORLEANS. Don't buy rip-offs pretending to have tracks on recorded in New Orleans!. I'm really getting mad at bootleggers who put out CDs (or vinyl LPs) just to make money. And this Archangel CD is there to make money. Your money. Keep your money. Again: Like The Future Is Murder and Replica Blues, avoid Archangel like dog's shit. FUCK IT! Get Missing Links (Memorial Records Memorec 403); it's not just better, it's the real thing in good quality with no overdubs and no fake dates.

Subtitle of this double bootleg CD is "The Best Live In Concert 1966-1969", but there is no song from 1966 and everybody knows there are many discs out which are much better than this compilation. Well, for those who have got all the common bootleg CDs this one is quite useless. The quality is worse than on all other CDs, but still quite acceptable, although all tracks were taken from vinyl copies. The bootleggers took the cover of the vinyl bootleg Archives, but the content of this double CD has got no relations to the vinyl having the same title.

This was one of the first Doors CD bootlegs. Although there are the same tracks as on Crawling King Snakes, this was copied from a tape, not from a vinyl disc. But besides the fine cover art, there is nothing special about Autumn Life.
